There's been plenty of rain this autumn, particularly in Western Illinois where there's been flooding along both the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. The quick eyes of NASA were able to catch some cool images of the flooding via satellites.
Thanks, Zach!




Awesome photos. A lesson in flooding and a lesson in geography. Thanks for posting them, Chicagoist.
Second what Ward said. Freaking awesome.
I eat this kind of thing up. Absolutely awesome.
The entire NASA Natural Hazards website is ridiculously amazing and awe-inspiring in some of its photos and satellite images.

Reminds me of flying over the midwest in 1993 after the flood that year and being floored by how obvious the devastation was.
